WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

For the unapologetically themselves, the wildly in love and those who'd rather live in the moment than pose for it.

I'm here for all of it. The excitement, the emotions and the beautifully unplanned moments. I'll help you feel confident, bring the encouragement and give you just enough direction for those effortlessly editorial portraits. Nothing forced, no awkward posing and no hours away from your favourite people.


The rest? That's all you. Unapologetically yourselves, living every second.

THE REAL MOMENTS.

THE UNSCRIPTED ONES.

THE ONES THAT MATTER.

 

RECENT BRIDE & YOUR BUILT-IN HYPE GIRL.

I'm Katie, the photographer behind Captured by KDW. A creative at heart, a people person and someone who loves making you feel your absolute best in front of the camera.


Having recently been a bride myself, I know just how quickly the day flies by. You've got people to hug, moments to soak up and memories to make, not hours to spend posing for photographs.


With a documentary-led approach and an editorial eye, I'll know when to step in with a little creative direction and when to let the moments unfold naturally.


My job? To capture it all while you enjoy every second.

EDITORIAL.

THE WILDLY IN LOVE,

UNAPOLOGETICALLY

THEMSELVES.

MY APPROACH

 

The real, unscripted moments. The effortlessly stylish ones.


Here's how I bring both together.

01 / THE REAL MOMENTS

THE BEAUTY IN THE UNPLANNED.
Smiling older woman with short hair laughs joyfully at a banquet table with wine glasses while guests chat behind her in black and white.

The best moments often happen when you're not even thinking about the camera. The reactions, the happy tears, the questionable dance moves and everything happening in between.


I'll blend into the celebrations, capturing the genuine connections and little moments you might not even realise are happening.


No constant interruptions or recreating moments for the camera. Just you, your favourite people and the freedom to be completely present.

 

02 / the EDITORIAL EDGE

 

A little direction. A lot of personality.

Think beautiful light, considered compositions and portraits that wouldn't look out of place in a magazine. Without the pressure of knowing exactly what to do in front of the camera.


I'll find the right light, give you gentle direction and create space for those effortlessly stylish photographs that still feel completely like you.


No awkward posing or spending hours away from your guests. Just a little creative direction and photographs you'll want hanging on your walls.

THE REAL,

UNSCRIPTED MOMENTS

 

THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

 

THE MOMENTS AS THEY HAPPEN. THE PORTRAITS YOU'LL WANT ON YOUR WALLS.
